Frequently asked questions about renewals.dot

For crypto payments, where do I enter the .PAY label I want to check?

Go to domain.pay and enter the .PAY label you want: https://domain.pay/register. The website checks availability and helps you choose between pre-order, trademark fast-track, or a different name if the label is already taken or premium.

Is renewals.dot eligible for VIP priority handling?

Most .PAY names, including renewals.dot, are eligible for VIP priority handling, which advances your request in our submission queue at the drop. Whether renewals.dot is standard $100 or premium does not affect VIP eligibility for renewals.dot. Check eligibility at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can a reserved .PAY name become available later for mobile money?

The .PAY registry may reserve, block, withhold or later release certain names under its policies. Check your exact label at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. If the name is unavailable, choose an alternative from the catalog or search another label.

Will renewals.dot stay reserved while my SMD is being verified?

While NicNames verifies your SMD for renewals.dot, your priority claim is being processed under the registry's rules, ahead of standard pre-orders. If verification fails, you can re-export a valid SMD and retry for renewals.dot. Charges for unfulfilled attempts are refundable per policy. Track it from your account after starting at https://domain.pay/register.

For payroll disbursements, how can a marketplace use a .PAY domain?

A marketplace can use .PAY for seller payouts, buyer checkout, escrow, billing or payment support flows. Generate and verify names through domain.pay: https://domain.pay/domains. Choose a label that customers will recognize as official and safe.

Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
